What is Argumentative Essays Examples?

In an argumentative essay, a student is asked to take a position on a topic and then defend that position.  This generally requires the student to investigate the topic, evaluate the evidence, present the evidence that supports the position, and explain why conflicting evidence does not require you to take an alternative position.  Failure to address conflicting evidence or arguments against your position weaken an argumentative essay, so it is critical to research positions other than the one you have chosen.  Argumentative essays frequently focus on hot-button issues that are easily politicized like abortion, the death penalty, and gun control.  However, you can write argumentative essays about lesser-known topics, which can be more impressive in an academic setting.  We have a large collection of argumentative essay examples which you can use to help you pick a topic or title for your paper, get ideas for an introduction, conclusion or hook sentence, and even find resources related to a specific topic.

The mind of Christ: kenosis and transformation in Philippians 2:5
This essay performs an exegesis of Philippians 2:5, and focuses on the way in which the language of the verse reflects its larger theological argument. The verse contains an ambiguous verb, and only by examining it in context can one understand how it functions as a means of describing the spiritual experience of both Jesus and his followers. In the end, it may be considered a kind of fractal representation of the eternal nature of Jesus, contained in the finite experience of a human being.
